Podcast Episode 222: “They was Coronas.”
2020-03-28So, this one starts out with a little bit of fake news, Cavs fans. In an obscure bit of minutia about how we refer to the the Coronavirus in the Smith household, we noted that the title line “They was Coronas” refers to a line in the musical Newsies about coronas around the sun… But no. The line actually refers to the cigar brand. Yeah. It’s that kind of podcast. We were joined by long time listener, first time caller, Jason as we discussed the TP situation in the Pestak household, what’s it like to homeschool, and how we’re all keeping sane.
Next up, we talked about the economy and what the new normal might look like in terms of player salaries and the financial future of the NBA. We discussed what the playoffs might look like if they do occur for 2020. We got into our favorite Covid-19 memes, and then talked about the insanity that is the Netflix tour-de-force, Tiger King. After that we got into Mike DeWine, the DeWine family, and Greene county politics. It was a lot of fun. Stay safe out there, peeps.

Been watching tiger king. Reminds me of the Errol Morris doc ‘Vernon, Florida.’ Watching the sort of bizarro alternate reality a bunch of weirdo nut jobs live in. People are strange.
Discussion of the Cavs’ future plans starting around 34:00 of a new pod from Morton Jensen et al, some of the typical subjects that are probably better avoided for a while (“do you look to move Kevin Love?” sheesh, the guy is an All Star, back to being a leader, and can win games) one of the hosts says he has an interview w/ Sexton coming out later with Forbes which indicates that Cavs’ expectation going forward is playoffs…

This is fun. Also love the fact that lockdown means even wealthy NBA dudes have their online chats destroyed by young children. I feel so much better.

The TP shortage is just an incredible phenomenon. Would love to know if any expert predicted this prior to the pandemic as an item that would be of highest demand.
Like Tom I cannot believe it’s still going. I understand the argument about inventory, but even so you would think enough people have now hoarded enough supplies that others could now start finding some. Nope. We’ve pretty much given up looking.
Nate, the other winner in this situation is tradepeople who install bidets.
Funny, in a crisis people are most concerned about their filthy a$$es. People need to grow up.Your precious TP isn’t going anywhere, morons.
Herd mentality. One person panics. Sets off a chain reaction. Tons of people panic.
It would be more understandable if it weren’t so specifically TP. Yeah, there was plenty of run on other stuff, but it was TP above everything else.
Herd mentality isn’t rational. Just reactionary. Could have been anything. Why were people buying milk? Something that inevitably goes bad extremely quickly? No rationale. Just animalistic panic. Fear is the base instinct and it causes base responses. There really isn’t explaining it. Or if there is, the explanation is usually fallacious or circular logic. ‘The TP is being bought up so there must be a shortage! I should buy all I can.’ ‘Wait there is a shortage. I should buy more.’ Suppose eventually someone realizes they have 1000 rolls of tp. By then the false sense of control it gives… Read more »
